The Cheshire Cat

Sorting, Old Friends, And New Names

The seven wonderlanders all nodded and the hat was placed on the stool. Dumbledore called them up one by one starting with Ned.

Everyone sat silently waiting for the hat to announce which house that twin would be in.

Finally after a few moments of waiting the hat shouted out the house name.

"GRYFFINDOR!!"

Ned hurried of the chair and sat at one of the four tables. Then Fred was called up. He sat on the stool with the hat on his head and not even a second later Gryffindor was shouted out and he went to go sit with his brother.

Bayard was then called up to be sorted. He walked up to the stool and the hat was placed on his head. After a few minutes the hat shouted, "HUFFLEPUFF!!" He then stood up a small smile on his face and walked toward the Hufflepuff table.

After Bayard it was the Mad Hatter's turn. He skipped up to the stool cheerfully and took a seat and when the hat was placed on his head the hat did not even hesitate before shouting out, "SLYTHERIN!!" The Mad Hatter skipped to the Slytherin table and talked to himself like always.

Before the White Queen went up the doors to the great all were slammed open and Six people walked in. Their looks made the teachers think they also came from wonderland and when the other seven's faces turned into massive grins... well Cheshire's just widened.

The first to walk in had waist length blonde hair and a bright childlike face. Her blue dress reached the floor and made her height prominent.

Then there was a girl with curly bright red hair that she held up into a high ponytail. Her green eyes held a frightening look that no one could decipher and her black and red clothing were no help to the matter.

The last girl had short pixie cut white hair and dark mouse like black eyes. Her grey sweater, maroon pants, grey beanie, and converse made her look like a normal teenager but she had an aura of courage around her.

Then there was the two boys. The first had blonde hair and yellow eyes that you could see the madness in. His maroon button up shirt and black pants made him look older then he was supposed to and brought even more confusion to the teachers.

Then a boy with blue hair and glasses stood with a pipe in his hand. The teachers all watched him curiously as a played with the smoke he produced and as his eyes twinkled with knowledge behind his glasses. His clothes consisted of mostly blues and his coat was an amusing mixture of blacks and blues.

The last one was quite tall and like the girl with red hair wore black and red clothes. His right eye held an eye patch and his black hair fell loosely around his head. His arm was wrapped securely around the girl with red hair and you could see the loving look in his eye whenever he looked at her.

"Oh for the love of Merlin! Is there anymore of you?" Severus asked from his seat at the head table.

"No. There are no more of us to come cause we have all came. If more were to come all of Underland would be here." Cheshire spoke up.

All that happened was Albus did was continue on with the sorting until everyone had been sorted.

As it turned out Slytherin was quite popular seeing as the Mad Hatter, Queen of Hearts, and Knave of Hearts were all placed there. As it was Gryffindor was as well since Both Tweedledum and Tweedledee were placed there along with Miss. Mouse and Alice. It then however was changed and Hufflepuff only received three 'people' who just so happen to be the White Queen, Bayard, and the March Hare. Then the White Rabbit and Caterpillar were placed into Ravenclaw.

Now Cheshire wasn't in that cause she has yet to be sorted. Dumbledore was about to call her up when Filch ran into the room.

He whispered something in Dumbledore's ear and then the teachers and they all ran out of the Great Hall.

The Wonderlanders followed and as soon as they reached outside Alice ran towards the Bandersnatch which apparently had come through the hole as well.

"Miss. Liddell please back away from the creature." Professor Dumbledore said.

"He won't hurt anyone. He's actually quite nice." She told the teachers while turning around.

"What is he?" Dumbledore asked.

"Why he's the Bandersnatch of course." The Mad Hatter said while moving over to Alice.

"The Bandersnatch?" Minerva McGonagall said from her place beside Dumbledore.

"Yes. He's quite sweet. Like a giant puppy really." Alice said while petting the large creature's chin.

The Bandersnatch shook his leg and reminded the teachers of a dog.

"He can stay..." Dumbledore started but stopped when he heard Snape grumbling under his breathe. "But he must stay in the forest." Dumbledore continued through Snape's grumbling.

"That is perfectly fine Professor." Alice replied.

Then everyone went back to the great hall.
